"We want some peace of mind." An Inland Empire family has been waiting five years for the trial of the man accused of killing a 37-year-old mother.It's been nearly five years since a mother of five was shot and killed at a Riverside baby shower and the heart-wrenching wait for closure continues for her family."We just want justice. We want some peace of mind, you know, finally move on with our lives because this is honestly holding us down," she said.
A fight broke out and Beatrice stepped in to break it up. Then there were gunshots and she was hit in the stomach. The Romo family says the man accused in her death should be a convicted murderer by now. Prosecutors, they say, have surveillance video, the gun used and witnesses. The murder suspect - the victim's own nephew, Abraham Bonilla - is in custody.It's the latest in a frustrating lineup of motions prolonging the legal battle for this family. Court records show nothing but continuances for this case in 2019 and more in 2020.
